Cantor says this species is found in Penang, Singapore, and the 

 Peninsula, and that the brown variety prevails at Penang and the 

 black at Singapore. Several residents in the Settlements have told 

 me the same thing. The largest Cobra I met with was a black 

 one in Singapore, 1372 mm. long. Mr. liidley caught in the 

 Botanical Grardens, Singapore, a Cobra in the act of swallowing a 

 Macropisthodcm rliodomelas. A Cobra that I obtained from Kulim, 

 Kedah, belonged to a third colour variety, C. h. in Boulenger's
